    Snake Millipede (Proteroiulus fuscus)

    This is a very common millipede but small at around 10mm long and little over 0.5mm in diameter.  It is pale with a row of dark brown spots along each side.  The first few segments have no spots but are mottled brown in colour.   It has eye spots arranged in a very narrow triangle.

    It lives in moist soil beneath leaf litter or under the bark of living and dead trees.
